Dear parents,
We have been studying animals in Science. As you know, last Tuesday your child visited the Houston Zoo as part of our animals unit. Part of their assignment was to record how many people visited the rabbits, sharks, turtles, and lions over an average weekend. When we returned to school, each student prepared a chart representing this info. I am enclosing your child's chart so you can see what a great job he/she has been doing in Science!
sincerely,
Your Name Here,
Science Teacher.
4. Choose <File> and <Save As>. Type ZOO as the filename. Make sure you save to your network folder.
Now you have 2 documents called ZOO. One is a spreadsheet and one is a word processing document.
5. After the last line of your letter, insert a page break so that we can place the chart on the second page. To do this, choose <Insert> then <Break> then <Page Break>.
Now we are going to copy and paste our spreadsheet chart onto the second page of our word processing document.
6. Minimize Word.
7. Maximize Excel.
8. Click in the chart area to select the chart and then go to <Edit> <Copy> or choose <Copy> from the toolbar.
9. Maximize Word.
10 Make sure your curser is at the top of the second page. Choose the <Edit> menu then <Paste> or choose <Paste> from the toolbar.
11. Go to print preview and you will see that the second page will look like this:
Notice that the chart is not centered. We need to do that.
12. Close out of Print Preview.
13. Click on the chart to select it. Drag it to the center of the page so that it looks like this when you preview it:
14. Save the changes you have made to your file.
15. Fill out your post evaluation Checklist and resave it in your portfolio.
